The sound of the hurt in his and his wife's voice was painful and I couldn't help but to think of my four year old son and the demons and temptations that he will be faced with as he gets older in this very different society/school culture than I grew up in

The temptations of drugs have been around for a few generations of kids now, so it's not a new fear. I grew up in the 80's and the DARE program. The dangers of drugs were drilled into our heads, but most of my friends and I still dabbled in them in high school and college.

My parents were very honest and open about their drug use in the late 60's and early 70's, and I think that made a difference for me and my siblings. While I experimented with lots of drugs, I always had a healthy respect for the dangers and risks in doing them, as did my siblings.
